QUIET, BUT BITTER.
Fight Between Blaine and sherman Men
in New York.


WASHINGTON. ID. C.. June S.-Repre-
resentative Merriman, of New York. be
ing interviewed to-day. said he thought
the Democrats would carry New York
at the elections this fall for Secretary of
State, Lieutenant Governor and other
officers. The Republicans, he says. are
in very bad shape on account of the po-
sition they have taken on the prohibition
question and the blunders they have
made in the Legislature. He expects the
Democrats to win, and says it will have
a good effect for the Presidential year.
He says there is very little political
talk in New York just now, but that
there is a very bitter fight going on
quietly among the New York Republi-
cans over Sherman and Blaine. The
Blaine men and the Sherman men are
struggling pretty hard for supremacy.
and it is causing quite commOtion in
the inner circles, though they keep up
an external appearance of serenity.
MIR. Merriman says it looks now as if
Cleveland would be the Democratic
candidate i'm 1888. He did not know
whether Hill would be a candidate for
nomination or not. There is a difference
of opinion among his friends. Some
say he will be candidate and will get
the New York delegation. Others of his
close friends say he viii not be a candi-
date at all.

The Coke strike Broken.

PTTTsBURG, Pa, June 11.-Dispatches
from the coke regions state that I'll. c.
Frick & Company, one of the largest
firms, have conceded the twelve and a
half per cent. advance demanded by the
strikers, and work will be resumed at
their ovens at once. This announce
ment has occasioned intense surprise.
1t seems that Carnegie, Phipps & Com
pany obtained the control of the Frick
coke works, and as their steel interests
are paramount, they literally drove F'rick
out. and informed the syndicate that
they would grant the advance whether
they followed suit or not. This virtually
disrupts the syndicate. and cutting in
the price of coke is sure to follow. The
Frick company makes about one-fourth
of all the coke produced in the Connells-
vile region. 1t is expected that work

The Administration aud the Tariff.

IT has been ascertained that every mem

the past two Congresses the President is
convinced that but one course remains
open to the Democratic party, and that
is the formulation of a bill in consulta-
ton with such men AS Randall and Car
Isle and others representing the diverse
positions of Democratic sentiment ON the
subject for the purpose Of bringing them
together upon some common ground of
agreement.
The President has seen for some time
that an issue will be made ON the tariff,

ious To get to work at once and prepare
"A bill To be submitted To Congress as "A

TALLAHASSEE, June 1.-THE Palatka

has twenty-three sections added that were
never adopted. The mistake occurred in
misconstruing the amendments made to
the bill by the House. The bill, as intro
duced by Senator Fowler, passed the
Senate, and was amended by the House
so as to substitute eight new sections for
the entire bill, but the enrolling clerk, by
mistake, substituted the eight sections
proposed i'm lieu of of the corresponding
sections of the bill, instead of the entire
bill, as was contemplated by the House
amendment. The provisions, as the bill
now stands, are conflicting, and may
give trouble. Governor Perry has signed
the following bills:
An Act to legalize the change of gauge
of the track of the Savannah, Florida
and Western Railroad.
An Act to incorporate the Florida and
Gulf Land Company.
An Act to revoke and abolish the pres
ent municipal government of DeLand.
